For ease of reference, the key decisions by the Conference of the Parties (COP) relevant for
reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (REDD+)
have been compiled into this decision booklet on REDD+. The booklet contains all
decisions adopted between COP 13 and COP 19, including the Warsaw Framework for REDD+.
For some longer decisions, only excerpts of the sections relevant to REDD+ are provided in
this decision booklet.

Links to the individual decisions in their original format can be found here below.

Decision 12/CP.17 provides guidance on systems for providing information on how all the
safeguards referred to in decision 1/CP.16, appendix I are being addressed and respected. The
decision also elaborates modalities relating to forest reference emission levels and/or forest
reference levels as referred to in decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 71(b).

In paragraphs 68 - 79, Decision 1/CP.16 provides a framework for Parties undertaking actions
relating to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, conservation of
forest carbon stocks, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon
stocks. This decision also launched a process for further work to be undertaken by the SBSTA
and the AWG-LCA.

Decision 2/CP.13 acknowledges the contribution of emissions from deforestation and forest
degradation to global anthropogenic GHG emissions. The decision provides a mandate for several
actions by Parties relating to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in
developing countries such as capacity building, technology transfer, exploring a range of
actions and demonstration activities and mobilization of resources to support these
efforts.
